More Than Ribbons. More Than a Horse Show.
Our Vision
To create a true championship experience for the entire CHJA membership — one that celebrates the horses, riders, trainers, owners, and families who dedicate themselves to the sport throughout the year.
The CHJA Hunter Jumper Finals is designed to be more than another show. Equitation riders have Medal Finals, Hunter and Jumper riders this show is for YOU!
Our vision is to build a Finals experience that is inclusive, aspirational, and accessible, giving members at every level a meaningful reason to pursue the championship.
Our Mission
The CHJA Hunter Jumper Finals exists to recognize and celebrate the commitment of our membership and the horses that carry them through the season.
We want to give our hunters and jumpers something special to qualify for — a championship-style event where their year-long efforts culminate in an experience that feels different from a regular horse show.
The Finals are also intended to provide an important opportunity for those who may not be able to, or may not be interested in, traveling out of state for championship competition. Great championship experiences shouldn't require a long-distance trip.
By creating a premier championship event within our own community, CHJA can offer members the opportunity to:
- Work toward a goal all season long through a meaningful qualification process.
- Experience a true championship atmosphere that recognizes their accomplishments.
- Celebrate the hunters and jumpers who compete throughout the year.
- Keep championship competition accessible to riders and families who prefer to remain closer to home.
- Bring the CHJA community together for a shared celebration of our sport.
- Recognize achievement at every level, making the Finals something the broader membership can aspire to attend.
- Create memories and traditions that riders, trainers, owners, and families look forward to year after year.
More Than Medals. More Than a Horse Show.
CHJA already has a strong tradition of recognizing its members through Medal Finals. The Hunter Jumper Finals are an opportunity to build upon that tradition and broaden the championship experience.
This is about giving the hunters and jumpers who show all year long their own moment — a chance to qualify, step into the championship ring, and feel that their season-long dedication has led to something truly special.
The goal is not simply to determine winners. It is to create an event that feels like a destination within our own community — a place where riders can bring their horses, their families, their trainers, and their supporters together to celebrate the season.
A Championship Experience Close to Home
Not every rider or family has the ability, resources, or desire to travel out of state for championship competition.
The CHJA Hunter Jumper Finals can fill that gap by offering a high-quality, championship-level experience right here at home.
It gives our membership another pathway to experience the excitement and recognition of a Finals event without the expense and logistics of traveling across the country.
And for those who do travel to other championships, the CHJA Finals can still be an important part of their season — a chance to compete for their local championship and celebrate with the community that supports them all year.
An Opportunity for Our Sponsors
The Finals also create an opportunity for businesses and organizations to become part of something meaningful to the CHJA community.
Sponsors aren't simply supporting a horse show. They are helping create an experience that recognizes dedication, rewards achievement, supports accessibility, and brings the local equestrian community together.
Through sponsorship, partners can help make the CHJA Hunter Jumper Finals a championship that members are proud to qualify for — and proud to be part of.
Together, we can create a Finals experience that gives every member something special to work toward, something special to compete in, and something special to remember.
